6. The Red-Roofed Santa Cabin

The Red-Roofed Santa Cabin

Go bold with this one. A bright red roof, white trim, green shutters, and a chimney wide enough for Santa to actually fit down — in theory, anyway.

Outside, line the path with candy-cane pillars, red and white concrete, and put a pile of presents by the door. Coloured shulker boxes work perfectly as gifts. It’s cheerful, it’s a little over the top, and kids on a server will love it instantly.
